Born in the community of Bellevue on April 4, 1908, she was the daughter of John and Frances (Taylor) Duerst. She attended Bellevue School, then went on to McMinnville High School, graduating in 1926. She received her R.N. degree from the nursing school at Salem General Hospital in 1929. Mrs. Rossner worked as a registered nurse in Salem and McMinnville before her marriage to Theodore B. Rossner on May 25, 1940, in Bellevue. She also taught first aid during World War II. The couple lived in Dayton for four years before moving to a farm near Bellevue. She volunteered for various organizations, including the Willamette Valley TB Association, American Cancer Society, American Red Cross and HEART. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Ethel Rebekah Lodge and Sharing Chapter of Eastern Star. She enjoyed traveling and spending time with her family. Family members said she was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who reveled in those roles. "She had a kind heart and a warm laugh," they said. "Her life was filled with beauty, adventures and blessings." Mrs. Rossner is survived by two daughters, Astuti and Judy of McMinnville; a sister, Anna Ladd of Sheridan; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by two sons, John in 2005 and Gregg in 2001; and a brother, John Duerst, who was killed in WWII.
